The band comments:

“We’re incredibly stoked to kick off this album release tour opening for Headstones, one of the reasons for this band coming together in the first place. Their sound was kind of like the center of the Venn diagram of all our influences. We’ve followed them since we were too young to get into clubs to hear them play. And FirstOntario Concert Hall will be the biggest stage we’ve played yet. Then to follow that up with a series of shows with Black Collar Union will make this an Autumn to remember!”
